Investment Manager Commentary, October 2023

We believe the best positioning for this environment is a defensive risk posture, with risk in specific areas that have real growth tailwinds, in companies with improving returns on capital in 2024, and in equities and fixed income with valuations at favorable expected risk-adjusted returns.
